mental calming

OKIE.... it's no longer 3am, as i am typing out, it is oficially 5.49am on my clock so yes, 2hours and 49mins has passed. i wont gladly rather be sleeping along with my bf at that and this timing as well.However wise, my body is really screwed. So i've decided to do some quiet time as well as to get myself to be both mentally prepared and at peace for my upcoming O level results on the 10th of january which is about.... 10 days away? you do the math.

Decided to do a little bit of sharing on what i've actually learnt whilst doing some quiet time. As my Bible was in my parents' room and i  don't want to bother them by sneaking in, i had to settle with a book that's supposedly good for people who talk too much and don't often bother to really listen.

Here's a small glimpse of what i've read and partook from reading and doing some thinking:

• For Christians with big mouths (such as i ). It is said in the Bible that we should listen more than we speak .....Be quick to listen [and] slow to speak - James 1:19
• WHYs????..... by actually being the one who keeps on talking, we will not be able to actually hear from what the person has to say and even if we allowed so; often, we'll just interrupt back w/o the other getting to the important part and hence this will actually cause Feuds.
• When ACTUAL LISTENING ( to hear WITH intentions), we'll be guaranteed to learn something that we do not have any idea of!
• NEVER listen closed heatedly, it never works
• FOR THE LADIES : dont ever go .... 'THEN WHYS YOU ALWAYS NEVER CALL BACK/ GO DRINK' while your bf is explaining... you'll just make things worse...just hear every single thing out without you starting/gonna whine and complain (breakdown) cos that way... you'll never get the point that your bf is desperately trying to tell you.
• Listening without interrupting is actually the highest form of respect you'll give to the 1 whose talking

so ya...these are really just my thoughts, dont flame me for anything. dont like what you read, than don't bother alrights? im jus sharing cause i think it'll do some good to those whiner/itchymouth/etc out there :}
